The film should be competing with either Tiger Zinda Hai or Dangal in terms of lifetime collections depending on what happens on day eight and the film is in between those two films in terms of first week collections. The film will need around 10 crore nett to ensure a 300 crore nett finish and 15 crore nett to keep in the race to challenge Dangal. .
